An Autumn day, still early morn fresh dew reflects the world reversed sticky threads swirling a cobweb on my chest "damm you", the spider mumbles no food today do you realize how much work it is to build a house each day anew? I looked down and saw she was right a thousand lines orderly shaped in spirals growing wide thoroughly attached and only one controls each square a single vibration and dinner is served (now why haven't people thought of that no more heavy grocery bags to carry) "I’m sorry", I said "you should light a lamp or use neon thread in stead Where am I suppose to walk if you keep building your house exactly where my footpath lays?" but she had left I turned to overlook my garden and I stopped breathing at least for a while because the rising sun's light had brought a million webs to life (there's beauty, even in little things) From that day on I won't destroy a spider's home if I can avoid it because…that night…I dreamed about spiders in my head Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Titia darling heart this is truly beautiful, one of those pieces that simply reflect beauty. Still it is said that those who have beauty within reflect it much more easily than those who do not, and you darling one have that inner beauty in abundance. I don’t get the chance to come and visit often these days, but when I do I always like to see something of yours because it is always worthwhile. Beautiful writing simply beautiful Love and warm stuff as always Mushy x x x x x x x Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Titia~ I saw the title last night just before bedtime ... decided I'd wait to read it today, lest I have spider nightmares~ It is such a neat piece of writing ... your versatility is amazing dear lady~ I also enjoy walking the lawn at early morn, seeing the beauty of the webs sparkling with moisture~ Love you lady~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

there's beauty, even in little things loved it, Titia. Hope you are on the mend. With all the fancy work I have on my porch eaves there are always beautiful silky spider webs...some so amazing and strong enough that even the winds don't destroy them. M M |
